* Process procs now properly use deltatime when implementing rates, timers and probabilities * Review fixes * Geiger counters cleanup Made hardsuit geiger code more similar to geiger counter code Geiger counters are more responsive now * Moved SS*_DT defines to subsystems.dm * Rebase fix * Redefined the SS*_DT defines to use the subsystem wait vars * Implemented suggested changes by @AnturK * Commented /datum/proc/process about the deltatime stuff * Send delta_time as a process parameter instead of the defines Also DTfied acid_processing * Dtfied new acid component
Datum Component System (DCS)
Concept
Loosely adapted from /vg/. This is an entity component system for adding behaviours to datums when inheritance doesn't quite cut it. By using signals and events instead of direct inheritance, you can inject behaviours without hacky overloads. It requires a different method of thinking, but is not hard to use correctly. If a behaviour can have application across more than one thing. Make it generic, make it a component. Atom/mob/obj event? Give it a signal, and forward it's arguments with a SendSignal() call. Now every component that want's to can also know about this happening.
See this thread for an introduction to the system as a whole.
